Believed to be an uninhabitable place, she quickly realises she is not alone.
Elsewhere, Shelby is kidnapped and forced to take part in a dangerous mission in the heart of the wasteland.Displaced by events beyond their control, will Luther, Zara and Shelby find what they need before it's too late?

![Editing Vlog Thing [authortube]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HtODZ4_CEeU/mqdefault.jpg "Editing Vlog Thing [authortube]
Honestly, I didnt have a plan and it shows (even just by the title) 😂 A mash of walking to the shops, making tea, and then eventually starting the editing process for Disarray - all while eating jelly babies and watching livestreams. It got me to start the edit eventually and once I got going I was quickly reminded just how long everything takes...
I almost binned the footage but decided to just post anyway!

![Organising Feedback - Productivity Sprint [authortube]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hx9dSjV7CWA/mqdefault.jpg "Organising Feedback - Productivity Sprint [authortube]
I didnt quite realise Id be making another video like this so soon, but here we are! I decided once again to set the camera upon myself while working to ensure I didnt lose focus. In this video I went over my feedback and organised the notes into a list - a small task but one I kept pushing back. Ive now planned it in a way where I can work through the list from top to bottom, with quick fixes being the starting point. All of this is for my second post-apocalyptic novel, Disarray, which (as you can tell) Im currently editing.
Im still not sure if this is more of a vlog than a sprint, or even an accountability video... I guess I may switch it up as I go!

![My Rough Plan For February [authortube]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J_-zjRVCMt4/mqdefault.jpg "My Rough Plan For February [authortube]
So, my thumbnail is far more concise than my actual plan for this month. Im itching to get book three completed but have ultimately decided that I need to continue with Disarray first and work with the feedback Ive recieved.
Alongside my writing goals, I also plan on getting back into reading this month... as its been a while since sitting down and taking time out to do so (classic excuse of Im far too busy to read).

![Mid-April Update [authortube]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Llha81mLeI8/mqdefault.jpg "Mid-April Update [authortube]
Well April has about a week and a bit left so it was high time I got around to making my plan video! Better late than never ay. It was a busy month with work related things and Ive fallen off the editing wagon for a moment.
So Ive set myself one or two goals to get done by the end of this month so I can try to get back on track (and not feel too bad about time running away from me lol).

In this video I discuss post-apocalyptic societies and why more often than not, things tend to revert back to basics. Hopefully this helps anyone who is currently building a fictional world in the post apoc genre!
